Update
Just a quick update - everything went about as we expected yesterday. The doctor came and talked to us while Monte was in recovery (he was put under for a while). He told us things do not look good, and according to the report sent home with us, the ENTIRE large intestine is "severely inflamed, scarred, ulcerated, and diseased". They also took biopsies, which is quite concerning, that could open up a whole other scary subject that I don't even want to think about right now. So Monte is now on 3 different drugs which are not good long term. One of them is high doses of steroids. The hope is that these drugs will help to get things under control for right now, then we go back two weeks from today to consult with the doctor about long term plans. We are also waiting for news on the biopsies. It's been an emotional, difficult time, your prayers are greatly appreciated.

I know it will do no good to say not to worry:) I have been wondering about Monte's health and dr. visits. I wish I lived closer so I could bring some meals or come over to make y'all life with my southern accent. (it IS funny) Instead, I will offer my prayers that he is healed and his pain subsides. I will pray for you and Isabella too!
Oh poor Monte.
Continuing to pray for you guys, specifically asking for St. Joseph to pray for your dear husband. And Mary to comfort you.
Love you.
